#NINTENDO HARD

[gear-project]

Annon-Guy: How do you feel about SNK Boss Syndrome rearing it's ugly head into modern day fighting games like Guilty Gear StrIVe?

Nagoriyuki, Ky, Ramlethal, Asuka R#, May and Faust ALL get turned into cheating a**holes because of that!

Not even GranBlue Fantasy Versus and Mortal Kombat 11 (Tower Mode Kronica's a fair challenge, while Base Stroy Mode Kronica is infected with the Boss Syndrome) had this happen.

You DO realize you're asking someone who cleared... and I mean COMPLETELY CLEARED the original UNPATCHED VERSION of Guilty Gear XX Mission Mode, right?

The game that had THIS BOSS? (Among many others.)

I beat EVERY SINGLE MISSION.

EVERY.

SINGLE.

MISSION.

SNK Boss Syndrome is a light concept to me as a Veteran Boss-Beater.

I'm long in the tooth when it comes to beating bosses.

Granted, Nagoriyuki caught me off guard the first few times I faced him... but I've fought worse, both in M.u.g.e.n. and in superboss game mods on PC (read the Game+Modding tag for details).

I'll just warn you ahead of time... if you plan on clearing GGXX Mission Mode one day... you'll have a heck of a time.

I'd say Unlimited Mars in BlazBlue is "slightly easier".

GGXX Mission Mode is pretty much the "Dark Souls" of Fighting game challenges. I'm just warning you now...

Oh... and good luck clearing Guilty Gear XX Accent Core's GOLD ARCADE MODE.

You'll NEED it...

You Talked?!

Okay so I hc that classic kirby and dedede have a very tom and jerry like relationship at first, before slowly turning into best friends. Plus I think the voice kinda fits them in a way

Annon-Guy: Any thoughts when you first fought the final boss of each game? (Only counting MAIN Boss Characters and not the alternate ones found in Xrd and StrIVe)

GG: Justice

GGX: Dizzy

GGX2 and GGAC: I-No

GG Xrd SIGN: Ramlethal

GG Xrd Revelator/Rev 2: Jack-O'

GG StrIVe: Nagoriyuki

I didn't play Guilty Gear or Guilty Gear X and X2, but from Accent Core up to StrIVe, I-No and Ramlethal are challenging opponents, Jack-O's a cakewalk and Nagoriyuki... he deserves to be forced into Elphelt's shinnagins for all his BS "Shishirayuki" crap!

(I like Nagoriyuki, but seriously, whoever though it was a good idea to bring SNK Boss Syndrome back into StrIVe needs a good slap in the face! However, if it's Daisuke's idea... just good stern constructive criticism will do.)

You haven't? SHAME ON YOU. GO PLAY THEM NOW.

They're on Emulator.

And that's Shizuriyuki... by the way.

As for my first impressions:

Justice was challenging in GG1, but not nearly as tough as she was in later games, especially in Mission Mode...

In fact, I was mad that you couldn't play as Justice in the original Arcade Mode of Guilty Gear 1.

Thankfully they fixed it for Survival Mode in later games.

Dizzy in GGX has a special place in my heart.

I wouldn't call her a "boss" so much as a "phenomenon".

It's kinda like meeting a beautiful girl you like for the first time.

Yeah she's powerful, yeah she's dangerous, yeah she can destroy you... but that's part of the AWE of SHE.

As for I-No... hmm... I don't remember having a hard time with her... not even against Megalomania... wonder why?

Hmm... oh well, she was, a boss I guess... In Mission mode she was tougher because you had to defeat her with only air combos.

I kinda wish her God Form was a boss in Strive, come to think on it...

Ramlethal was a boss in Xrd Sign, but... all she really had going for her was the Explode move and an "armored" Calvados... honestly her boss form in Strive is a lot harder to fight against.

And to be more honest, Elphelt in M.O.M. mode as a boss was even harder... I'm not even kidding.

I have to wonder if Elphelt will get a boss form in Strive?

Jack-O'... hmm... in Revelator she wasn't much of a boss... yeah she had a few strong servants but, it wasn't much to note... I think the only thing she had was her Calvados Bomb attack that did extra waves of hits and damage, but that was only when she had Tension.

I'd argue a boss form in Strive would be much harder.

And let's not forget Valentine in GG2 Overture... she was way tougher (though you had Izuna and Dr. P as backup during the fight... would be nice to fight her again one day...).

Err..... to say nothing of "Boss Jack-O", which I came up with...

Honestly, Nagoriyuki in Strive was a challenge but... honestly Gold Slayer is more of a challenge, simply because one mistake will fill his Lifebar back up because of his Vampire powers... and he has Nagoriyuki's dash speed to boot, so he can easily cross you up as well.

I played a lot of bosses over the years, even tinkered with some of my own... but honestly it's a hobby of mine to make boss mods or at least tinker with them whenever I get the chance.

By and large, if I say a boss isn't hard... well, that's only from my perspective... so you don't have to agree with it. I'm actually better at playing against bosses than I am against real people... which makes me sound weird, but that's part of my interests as a gamer.

They’re playing separate games of Mario kart.

Yooo Happy Halloween!! This year I’m Magolor wowie :DDD I sewn the hood, scarf, cape, and shorts. Gloves were bought and modded. First time sewing shorts like those but I’m happy with the results!

Enjoy some progress photos in no particular order under the cut!
